Homebrew PCBs

Monte,
CadSoft has a free version of their Eagle PCB program available at their
website http://www.cadsoft.de/freeware.htm
This will allow you to make schematics and board layouts, etc.

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] PCB design software


> Hello to all...  New member here and not real knowledgeable regarding PCBs
but am hoping to learn.  If you guys can stand a few "neophyte" type
questions for a while, I would be most appreciative.
>
> I joined because I am wanting to learn how to design and build a few
simple, small boards; initially just two-sided, plated hole boards.  Not
sure I really want to actually make them at first, may want to just send the
design off to a prototyping house to have them made in very small
quantities.
>
> Can anyone recommend a good, but fairly inexpensive, "starter" software
program that I could learn to use and would produce the file types (whatever
they are) that are compatible for PCB manufacture?  Later on I may need to
upgrade to something more sophisticated, but for now, I'd like to keep it
pretty simple and not too expensive.
